So what if he went 8-8 this season? I think Cable also went 8-8 when he was the head coach.

Hue had to be fired because he made way too many stupid mistakes in the 2nd half of the season, gave up too much for Palmer, and he had problems with the players on the team. Management was also not too happy with the comments he made at the end of the season when he said he was going to take more control of the team this off-season.
